[xf86-video-ati] screensaver ploblem?

02-28-2009, 06:40 AM

My Xorg crashes after enabling screensaver for some while. This already happens twice when I started xcreensaver [gnome version]. I am running with xf86-video-ati from git head. My system is FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE with Xorg-7.4 (Xorg-server-1.5.3).

The crash log of Xorg says:

---

(EE) RADEON(0): ADVANCE_RING without begin at radeon_accel.c:882

It seems these lines caused the problem. But I don't know exactly what it is.
